Secret numbering system. 040 is 4 Mbit = 512 kByte 080 is 8 Mbit = 1 MByte 160 is 16 Mbit = 2 MByte > I used to do boot CDs pretending to be 2.8Mb floppies, and would be > happy with a 4Mb chip to get a Linux kernel into. No, these were 2.88 MByte floppies, not 2.88 Mbit floppies. Even the SST49LF160 chip is smaller than that floppy.
